Seriously the BEST guacamole! Get the Alla Mas one with mango, jicama, and pomegranate seeds! Everything is perfectly flavored and spiced down to their coffee! An fantastic service as well!!! Can not recommend more highly!!
Updated 2/7/2019: Still have yet to find a better Guac! I have been back twice since my review and still just as fantastic! Sunday brunch was very tasty and fresh!
Updated 10/23/2022: finally made it back and still the best F-ing guacamole you can find. Description above. Soooo good. There pollo en mole was on pointe as well!!! Took advantage of a warm October night to do sidewalk patio for likely the last outdoor meal of the year. Love this place. Price is a little higher than other Mexican places but it is elevated Mexican faire at its finest!! Family owned and operated.
Updated 6/3/2023: Quality never goes down. Consistent, amazing Mexican food for years and years. A neighborhood gem. Take home Margaritas. Um, yes please!!! Blood orange and passion fruit are the special margqritas this week. Support a local, family owned restaurant. Will not...
Read moreIt was a great ambience, the chips came immediately and we very well done. The salsa was the perfect consistency for most people. I prefer mine a little thicker and hotter but I'm a little different. We had ceviche which I love, but I'm more of a barebones ceviche guy, so the additional tomato paste gave it a sweetness that wasn't my preference. Freshness was amazing though. The margaritas were good. I had the blood orange and pomegranate, while my friend had mango. If you want something a bit sweeter, definitely go with mango.

Great meal with great service. Bear in mind if you go with a bigger group, they don't split checks, so get Tab or...
Read moreI typically come to this restaurant quite often. Their tampiqueña is EVERYTHING! Best in Chicago thus far. I’ve been to many restaurants to try out their tampiqueñas and none of them are as good as theirs. The salsa they offer with the tortillas chips I find it to be so spicy, but yet so good! I find myself always ordering more and more of it. Can’t get enough. I was here on 09/23/23. Our server was Alberto C. He really surprised me! Great service! He kept coming to our table to make sure we were doing good. I didn’t even have to flag him down to ask for anything because he was on it! Never had anyone in any restaurant I been to come and pick up the drinks from the table to clean under the cup. He took customer service to another level! I will make sure that when I come back I make sure I request him to...
